Description

Bei den bisher bekannten Verfahren zur Trennung von Gasgemischen, bei welchen Rektifizierkolonnen benutzt werden, strömt eine Flüssigkeit mit einem verhältnismäßig großen Gehalt an dem flüchtigsten Bestandteil von dem obersten Teil einer Rektifizierkolonne herab, wobei sie das aufsteigende Gas wäscht. Diese Flüssigkeit hält den in dem aufsteigenden Gas enthaltenen am wenigsten flüchtigen Bestandteil fest und reichert sich mit
ίο demselben nach Maßgabe ihrer Abwärtsbewegung an. Im allgemeinen nimmt die Mindestmenge an Flüssigkeit, welche an jedem Punkt der Kolonne zur Zurückhaltung des größtmöglichen Teils des in dem aufsteigenden Gas enthaltenen, am wenigsten flüchtigen Bestandteils nötig ist, mit der Entfernung von dem obersten Ende der Kolonne zu. Wenn daher die an einem beliebigen Punkt der Kolonne erforderliche Waschflüssigkeit in ihrer Gänze in den obersten Teil der Kolonne eingeführt wird, so ist die vom obersten Kolonnenende herab- ao fließende Flüssigkeitsmenge, die einen verhältnismäßig hohen Gehalt an dem flüchtigsten Bestandteil aufweist, größer als diejenige, die notwendig wäre, um den am wenigsten flüchtigen Bestandteil im oberen Teil der Kolonne zurückzuhalten, wenn as dieser Teil allein vorhanden wäre. Diese Flüssigkeit stellt das Ergebnis der Trennung dar, zu deren Herstellung Energie verbraucht worden ist, und die daher einen größeren Wert hat als die Flüssigkeit, die einen geringeren Gehalt an dem leicht-
flüchtigsten Bestandteil aufweist, in welche sie sich l>eim Herabfließen in der Kolonne allmählich verwandelt. Das Verfahren ist also mit einem Energieabbau verbunden.
Gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren, welches die Verringerung des obigen Energieabbaus ermöglicht, geht ijian folgendermaßen vor:
Ein flüssiges; Gemisch, das an einem Ende der unter hohem Druck stehenden Kolonne aufgefangen
ίο wurde, wird auf einen mittleren Druck entspannt und in mittelbare Berührung und in Wärmeaustausch mit dem in der Rektifikation begriffenen Gas gebracht, und zwar bei einer Temperatur, die niedriger als die des flüssigen Gemischs vor der Entspannung ist, worauf das durch diese Verdampfung erzeugte Gasgemisch, gegebenenfalls nach teilweiser Wiedererwärmung, durch Erzeugung äußerer Arbeit entspannt wird.
Der Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, daß man weiterhin an jeder Stelle der Rektifizierkolonne eine genügende Menge von Waschflüssigkeit erhält und außerdem Gas unter einem mittleren Druck, dessen Entspannung mit äußerer Arbeit mechanische Energie und Kälte erzeugt.
Die Abbildung der Zeichnung zeigt beispielshall>er eine Ausf ührungsform der Erfindung in ihrer Anwendung auf die Trennung der Luft in Sauerstoff und Stickstoff.
Die Luft wird durch die Leitung 1 in den unteren Teil der Hochdruckkolonne 2 eingeführt. Das an dem unteren Teil der Hochdruckkolonne 2 aufgefangene flüssige Gemisch von Sauerstoff und Stickstoff wird an einer Zwischenstelle in die Niederdruckkolonne 48 mittels einer mit einem Entspannungshahn 66 versehenen Leitung 65 eingeführt. Ein Teil des in dem Kondensator 5 gebildeten flüssigen Stickstoffs wird an der höchsten Stelle der Kolonne 48 mittels der einen Entspannungshahn 43 enthaltenden Leitung 42 eingeführt. Ein anderer Teil desselben flüssigen Stickstoffs durchströmt die Leitung 63, wird in dem Hahn 64 auf etwa 3 ata entspannt und in dem Zwischenverdampfer 4 verdampft. Der verdampfte Stickstoff wird durch eine Leitung 9 aufgefangen. Er kann unter Erzeugung von äußerer Arbeit und von Kälte entspannt werden.
Man könnte auch die Gesamtheit des der Kolonne 2 entnommenen flüssigen Stickstoffs in den Verdampfer 4 schicken, den in dem Verdampfer 4 verdampften Teil ven dem nicht verdampften Teil trennen und diesen in den oberen Teil dfe'r Kolonne einführen.
Man könnte auch die Gesamtheit oder einen Teil der unten an der Hochdruckkolonne 2 aufgefangenen Flüssigkeit auf einen mittleren Druck entspannen und sie in einem an einer Zwischenstelle der Hochdruckkolonne 2 liegenden Verdampfer Verdampfen, um sie anschließend unter Erzeugung von äußerer Arbeit und von Kälte zu entspannen.
In gewissen Fällen kann es auch zweckmäßig sein', nicht die Gesamtheit des Stickstoffs in dem oberen Teil der Hochdruckkolonne zu verflüssigen, und an dem obersten Teil dieser Kolonne einen Teil des gasförmigen Stickstoffs zu entnehmen, um ihn unter Erzeugung von äußerer Arbeit und von Kälte zu entspannen.
